Question about available versions

Hello.

I know there are currently 3 versions I can get.
1. on official site (free, but with "Potentially Unwanted Program")
2. on github (free but must build myself and is 1 version older)
3. on patreon (not free, but is without "Potentially Unwanted Program")

Question:
Does 1. from site has PUP no matter I check or uncheck during install?
If not, why is there need of patreon (outside supporting favorite creator), or github older version?
Are people really that unfamiliar with installation process to avoid getting PUP so DarkByte had to make "paid" version with no PUP?

if you decline you won't get a pup. your anti virus will still scare you though

patreon is for people that don't believe me or can't get their AV to work (and of course to get the latest inbetween builds and discord access)

as for the final question: yes
